Can or should I ask my significant other to stop talking and to not associate with his ex? If so, how?

First, ask yourself what's making you feel uncomfortable with their friendship. Has there been an inappropriate gesture, or are you feeling that way plainly because she is his ex? Understand that even though their love relationship didn't work out, doesn't mean they aren't good friends - and yes, without malice. If you really want him to stop, calmly talk to him about what bothers you and why it bothers you.

If the situation makes you feel uncomfortable then yes you should. Do it in a respectful way, and don't try and bring them down.

Express that you really love your partner, and any mentioning of his or her ex, makes u uncomfortable, keep assuring your partner that you trust him or her, completely,.but it somehow hurts you when a person who was in his/her life contacts your partner, let your concerns reached to your partner in non accusing phrases, it will certainly work,

Unless you have a very good reason to ask them to not associate with their ex, it's best not to force them to do any such thing. It's quite possible that they have managed to stay friends and asking your partner to stop talking to his/her ex will only damage your relationship with them in the long run.

You need to talk to them. Communication is key. You need to be direct and tell them how you feel if they are talking to their Ex. You most certainly can say you don't want them talking to their ex. It's totally understandable to think that way as we all would share the same emotions towards the topic if you in deed love your significant. If your significant cares and takes regards your emotions then they surely should respect that and stop talking to their ex.

A relationship is built upon trust, if your significant other is still friends with his ex then you should trust him to make the right decisions. If it is affecting you then speak openly to him about it and come to an agreement.

I think if your significant other is talking with his ex and it is making you uncomfortable it's something you should talk about. We cannot control what others do, or who they talk to, but you can let it be known how you feel. It could very well be that they don't know or understand that you are upset that they are talking to an ex. Having this conversation can help both of you come to an agreement that will ease your mind. In my opinion, you should not tell people who they can and cannot talk to. But if it is a deep issue you are having, your partner should be caring enough to take your feelings into consideration, and take the appropriate measures to insure they are not causing you harm. If someone is causing you to feel badly even after you've talked to them, I feel like that's a different problem. No one that cares about you should be making you hurt on purpose for no reason.

I believe you shouldn't have to ask your significant other to stop associating with their ex. They should know whether they can or cannot spend tie with them based on their feelings and you should be able to trust their decision.

No, I don't think so! That's something he has to decide if he wants to do. You can not just ask him to stop talking to his ex if they may be good friends.

You shouldn't. Try to ponder over the reasons why are you upset over him talking to his ex. Then maybe try talking to him.

no you should not, he or her is aloud too, unless its somthing bad. then talk to them about it. you don't have to worry

You can and should communicate with your significant other if you are ever uncomfortable with anything. It is the matter of how it is approached. Sit down, have patience, remain calm and reasonable to why you may be uncomfortable. Negotiate on how this situation can benefit the both of you because after all, a relationship is about two people.

Have you thought of speaking about how you feel to your partner,? If you speak to them and open up, together you can find a way around this issue.

It seems that you feel conflicted towards what you would feel comfortable talking about with your parter, is that the case?

On personal experience, simply ask to have a conversation with your significant other, and explain how it feels to you and how you can come to settle an agreement that settles the matter. But remember it goes both ways, how can you help your significant other's concerns?

This is a very difficult one! My ex is still my best friend and I would be absolutely devastated if he got a new girlfriend and she told him to stop talking to me. I know you’re insecure but honestly they are probably just friends and nothing more. Voice your concern for sure, but please don’t make him cut contact

Communication is very important. Is this causing problems between the two of you? If so you need to let your partner know. Just tell them how you feel and do it in calm manner. Do not accuse. Let them know it makes you uncomfortable. Listen to what they have to say. Then you try to work on what's best for you.

You totally can~ Most people do not communicate with their ex and you can always talk to your partner about this. This requires honest conversation where both of you are understanding and open about each other's opinions.

It depends on the situation. Does he share a child with his ex? If so, it would be illogical and unreasonable to expect him to stop communicating with his ex.

If I felt this way about my significant other, I would have a serious conversation with them about how I feel and why.

I feel like that's not a fair thing to ask of someone. If he's on good terms with his ex and he isn't cheating on you, I don't see anything wrong with it. Relationships are all about trust. He is his own person and can therefore decide if he can safely talk to his ex without anything going wrong.

While it is not okay to forbid your partner from talking to anyone, you should certainly talk to them if what they are doing is making you uncomfortable. For example, instead of saying, “I hate it that you still talk to your ex, you need to cut them off” You could say, “It makes me really uncomfortable that you’re still talking to your ex.” To begin a conversation about it.

If you have no reason to be worried you shouldn't. You should make him feel like you trust him. But if in need just be honest. Share yout worries and you hopes and work on them together as a team.

Yeah, you should talk with him/her about how uncomfortable makes you feel that he/she talk about his ex.

Could but depending on your relationship it might come off as clingy and nobody one-sided relationship you should go get help and see what they’re talking about if it’s flirting or an affair you should totally break up with him in immediately but if it’s just being friendly maybe you should let them be if you really feel like it’s more than just friends you should talk to your significant other immediately about this issue Hood but depending on your relationship it might come off as clingy and nobody one-sided relationship you should go get help and see what they’re talking about if it’s flirting or an affair you should totally break up with him in immediately but if it’s just being friendly maybe you should let them be if you really feel like it’s more than just friends you should talk to your significant other immediately about this issue it Could go Two different ways, Coming off as clingy or your significant other might understand and Respect your decisions. If he doesn’t listen to you then maybe you should go to relationship ship therapy for couples counseling possibly could work out for the good or bad

If you do not feel comfortable with your significant other keeping in touch with hi/her ex then you should ask that they sever contact. Because relationships are all about compromise. The best way to do it is by asking. Just be direct and ask that they stop talking to their ex. You can express your discomfort with the situation and let them know how much better you would feel if they did stop talking to their ex. This may seem difficult to do but it can and should be done if it would make you feel secure in that relationship.

In relationships, it is rarely appropriate to ask someone to do or not do something as significant as ceasing communication with their ex. It is ultimately a decision he must make himself. What you can do is express how his association with his ex makes YOU feel, how you feel it is detrimental to you. Your first step should be to ask: are you doing this for his or your benefit? Are your motivations unselfish or selfish? Asking such things as large as this rarely come with no strings. They are sacrifices and not to be taken lightly. I suggest you really examine your own intentions, and if they are pure, then start thing about sitting him down and having a productive conversation with him.

If you feel as if you should, most definitely ask. Try to be as assertive as possible and if it makes you feel uncomfortable voice that. Make sure you tell them why exactly you are asking. You have every right to ask, just make sure you guys are alone and that the tone of your voice is very stern and clear. Try to make sure that they understand where you are coming from. It can be hard to ask a question where you are asking someone to cut off all ties with a person you really care about and you might feel like you don't have courage to, but trust me you do.

If an interaction seems to make you feel uncomfortable between your partner and his friends or ex you should definitely communicate it to him. Make him/her understand that this is bothering you and list all the reasons why it does for example (I don't like it when she/he says this …. or does this....). If they do not respect your wishes, express that to him/her. Set boundaries for yourself, all in all, being in a relationship it's about being able to build trust within one another. If you cannot trust him, how can he trust you if you were in his shoes.

If you feel it’s hurting you go for it, he should respect your decision and should be willing to compromise for your relationship if he dearly wants it to work, but it also depends are they in good terms are they overly friendly there’s the possibility that they still have feelings for their ex and if its hurting you go for it if they don’t want to then there you go you have your answer dump him/her!! If they truly care they will here your wishes but don’t give them an ultimatum try go on politely cause it can show that you don’t trust them and that can hurt them
